Jetstar In-flight Crew

Jetstar’s flight attendant uniform is designed to reflect its growing Pan-Asian network. Dominated by Jetstar’s orange color, the uniform was designed in consultation with team members from across the Jetstar Group, who gave their feedback on the uniform’s functionality, fit, and style. The result is a refreshed uniform that includes a twist on the iconic female orange jacket, with the tailored buttoned front now features an Asian-inspired collar. The flight attendants will also wear the orange jacket with either black tailored pants or an A-line skirt.
